A sales rep for the Wizards got carried away in a Facebook post that claimed the team will draft John Wall with the first overall pick next month.

Myron Goodman posted the following message Friday on a Facebook page for University of Kentucky alumni:

"I am a sales rep for the Washington Wizards. John Wall will be our choice as the [No. 1] overall pick in the June draft. If you want a great deal on tickets ... email me."

Wizards spokesman Scott Hall says it was "simply the case of an overzealous member of our sales staff acting on his own."

The post was taken down soon after it was put up.

Washington won the draft lottery this week and it is widely expected that Wall will be the top pick.
